Abrasion protected roadway marking strip and method of making same

Abstract From the Canadian patent

This invention concerns a method for making prefabricated light-reflexing, roadway-marking strips resistant to the scraping action of mechanical, snow-clearing equipment - such as snow plows - by the application of protruding elements on the marking strip. These elements can be of different shapes and are positioned on the marking strip so as to promote the snow plow blade to lift over the light reflexing elements thus, preventing, at least partially, the otherwise serious damage that could occur to the said light-reflexing elements. The protruding elements are also designed to provide lifting points for the removal of the marking strip from installed locations on roadway surfaces. The …
